Chuckwalla Valley Raceway

Get on the throttle and get out here! Whether you are a car enthusiast looking to improve your time or a moto junkie pushing to the maximum on the epic «bowl», this track is well worth the drive and the experience to get here.
The paddock is spacious and well laid out for a weekend of camping. The hospitality continues to grow as the track expands its offerings for the weekend warriors– but for now you can expect nice bathrooms with awesome water pressure and great showers. Bleachers for the spectators, commissary if you are hungry and plenty of open road to pedal around if you have kids in tow. It’s always a really fun weekend out here. Big thanks to Micky, Amy and the team for always treating us like family! VROOOM!

I was fully expecting to give this place at least 4 stars but what the hell is up with the facilities… or should I say the lack of facilities?
Chuckwalla is one of the newer tracks in SoCal and it’s literally out in the middle of friggin no where. There is nothing there… expect for SPACE! So why is the paddock area so friggin small? The paddock is literally just a rectangular piece of asphalt in the desert, why not extend the asphalt like 20 feet in each directly?
The paddock looks like an outdoor swamp meet, with cars and EZ ups laid out in a tightly packed grid.
There is one restroom building off to the side, a big tent in the middle and a classroom trailer with a small kitchen attached that sells breakfast burritos and burgers.
The track itself is pretty good; lots of double apexes and a nice flow. There is basically nothing to hit except the corner stations and the wall at the pit lane so it’s a safe track.
If you go off roading, the dirt and dried up bushes aren’t too bad. No crazy rocks that destroy your suspension like at Willow Springs.
All in all it’s a pretty good track but the fact that it’s 3+ hours from LA kind of sucks.

This review is from the perspective of a motorcycle track day enthusiast.
Chuckwalla is my favorite track to ride in Southern California (I’ve ridden them all, including many of the kart tracks).
The GOOD:
Track layout has a great flow to it. You can ride a 600 at a moderate pace just using 2 gears and have a great time. Great fun in both directions, I actually prefer counter-​clockwise.
Track surface is excellent, very smooth and lots of grip.
Bathroom facilities are nice and generally clean.
The BAD:
It’s a bit of a drive from LA, closest decent hotels are in Indio and that’s still about an hour from the track.
It’s out in the desert so it gets HOT in the summer. I wouldn’t recommend it in July/​August unless you want to suffer.

awesome track, Rode here several times and its always a blast !
came here with «TRACKDAZ»

And they are always so very organized also they are big on safety, I did happen to crash at 75 mph coming out of turn 16 and caught it on video…

They came and scooped me up quick and I was ready to go for the next session.
You haven’t ridden till you try this track :)
